Not So Much to Be Loved As to Love

I used to walk all over town

All over town

Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir

I used to wander all up and down

All up and down

Waiting for love from someone

I was waiting for affection

But I was looking in the wrong direction

What I needed was not so much to be loved as to love

I used to walk all over town

All over town

Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir

I used to wander all up and down

All up and down

Waiting for someone to love

A long time

A young man is allowed to yearn

But it took me so long to learn

That I needed not so much to be loved as to love

A young man is allowed to yearn

But it took me so long to learn

That I needed not so much to be loved as to love

Not so much to be loved as to love
